  • Quote: Originally posted by Telomar There are many who'd disagree and think blu-ray is more important to Sony than some console marketshare. You have to understand how expensive AV hardware is sold, and sold to whom. The affluent doctor who …

  • Quote: Originally posted by Eugene The Gamecube really didn't sell well out of the gates in 2001. The XBox has outsold the Gamecube since the introduction of both units. As for the Wii, if old game downloads are cheap, that'll be a huge selli…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Splinemodel We shall certainly see if this is the case. The PS3 is so architecturally different than past machines that I don't think we'll see it uncorked until the 2nd generation of games. Even so, I'd wager that i…

  • Quote: Originally posted by 1984 Well, for $600 ($100 more than the Toshiba HD-DVD player) you not only get a Blu-Ray player but a game machine as well. That sounds like a good deal to me. Still, it is just plain stupid of Sony not to include H…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Placebo Yeah, I would've loved it to have been a knockoff RTS or unpolished third-person shooter. Microsoft saved it. Is that a knock at Myth and Oni?.. I guess people prefer the art of resource accumulation to …

  • I think Apple occasionally shows off their flagship Power Macs with all the bells and whistles in a LAN-party type of set-up at game conferences.

  • Quote: Originally posted by e1618978 My xbox360 is in my bedroom, and if it makes a noise, then it isn't enough noise to draw attention to itself during game play or dvd watching. But the powermac G5 was also very quiet, I thought - at least t…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Placebo That's what I assumed, but the negative thing with DSL is latency, which is why I chose cable, to avoid as much of online multiplayer lag as possible. Your latency shouldn't be any worse with equivalent cab…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Blackcat I think $400 is reasonable as a loss leader. 60gig 3.5" HDDs are now very cheap, 2.5" aren't expensive and Sony will be buying in bulk, millions at a time. I'm not so sure free online multiplayer will be vi…

  • Quote: True, very few people would pay that in large quantitites. I do personally believe the PS3 will debute at 500-600 dollars. However I doubt that it will cause the death knell of HD DVD simply because there's an HD DVD player at the same price…
